Kõrvaotsik

Kõrvaotsik, also known as an eartip or earbud tip, is a small, detachable component that fits onto the end of an earphone or in-ear monitor. Its primary function is to create a seal within the listener's ear canal, which is crucial for several reasons. This seal helps to improve sound quality by preventing sound leakage, thereby enhancing bass response and overall audio clarity. It also plays a significant role in noise isolation, reducing the amount of external ambient sound that reaches the listener's ears.

Kõrvaotsikud are typically made from soft, pliable materials such as silicone rubber, foam, or a combination of both. Silicone tips offer durability and are easy to clean, while foam tips conform more readily to the unique shape of an individual's ear canal, providing superior comfort and a more secure fit, especially during physical activity. They come in various sizes (small, medium, and large) to accommodate different ear canal dimensions, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit for a wide range of users.

The selection and proper fit of a kõrvaotsik are essential for optimal audio performance and listener comfort. An ill-fitting tip can lead to poor sound quality, discomfort, and reduced noise isolation. Many earphones come with multiple sizes of kõrvaotsikud, allowing users to experiment and find the best option for their ears. Aftermarket kõrvaotsikud are also available, offering alternative materials, improved designs, and enhanced features for those seeking to upgrade their existing earphone experience.
